Instructions to Configure BFi for Intel NIC 11
Configuring Boot From iSCSI (BFi)
Using Intel PRO Network Adapter
on a System That is Configured With
a Local Disk
This section provides information about configuring a Dell™ PowerEdge™
system that is configured with a local disk to boot from an Internet Small
Computer System Interface (iSCSI) using the Intel
®
PRO network adapter.
To create the operating system base image, you must initially configure the
PowerEdge system with a local hard drive. After you create the operating
system image and clone the image to an iSCSI Logical Unit Number (LUN)
on the storage array, the PowerEdge system does not require a local hard drive
for booting.
Before implementing a Boot From iSCSI (BFi) LUN:
• See "Additional Information" on page 23 and the
Intel iSCSI Boot
User Guide
• Configure IP addresses for the iSCSI ports on the Dell PowerVault™
MD3000i storage array
